Did the USA do good to seize a Venezuelan oil tanker?

[struth]

We sanction a ship and then use that as a reason to steal the ship and it cargo.

It is a great system as long as you have the military force to back it up.

The US Navy has become the Barbary Pirates of the day.

Yes, it's a fantastic system.

Venezula was once a powerful and rich nation, that could have done similar things, but then leftist directors took it over and ruined it and oppressed it's people, robbing them of all of it.....and that's what you defend.

 

[ColonelAngus]

REASONS WERE GIVEN.

Why didnt you lefties cry in 2022 when the sanctions were instituted?

 

[Norm Paperman]

Yes, it's a fantastic system.

Venezula was once a powerful and rich nation, that could have done similar things, but then leftist directors took it over and ruined it and oppressed it's people, robbing them of all of it.....and that's what you defend.

I have not defended a thing. I have spoken against the actions of the US.

A lot of counties could do these things, but only the US is doing them. Only the US thinks it is the ruler of the entire world and above all laws and norms

How did these leftists gain power?
They didn't seize it using an armed conflict, they did it at the ballot box. They convinced the underclasses, rightly or wrongly, that they were being underserved and that the state could better allocate resources to their benefit.
That kind of socialist garbage sold to a majority of the electorate and continues to do so. That is why the only way it is going to be replaced is by the military might of the US imposing a new, puppet, government.

Yes, you have continued to side with the brutel dictator that is Murdero and his regime over Trump and the nobel prize winning opposition leader

Aren't programmed electronic voting systems great?

This is the basic mentality of most Americans, and one that drives me nuts. It is the reasons for most actions by the US.

Everything for people like you is “us vs them” and “either for us or against us “.

You lack the ability to understand that I can not support Maduro and not support the US killing people in international waters and stealing tankers.

It does not have to be one or the other, I can be against both. But you will never be able to understand that.

Trump declares 'Venezuelan regime' a foreign terrorist organization, orders oil tanker blockade

Trump orders total Venezuela oil blockade, designates Maduro regime as foreign terrorist organization over stolen U.S. assets and criminal activities.

Each day the US becomes more and more like Russia.

 

[JWBooth]

The hubris of empires.

 

[Norm Paperman]

The hubris of empires.

This is the last grasp of a dying empire.

The US has fallen to the point that a small third world nation is all they can bully now.

Well “them” are brutal, leftist narco terrorist

So your government tells you, and it appears you would never question what you are told.

It is interesting that your solution to brutal peope is to be even more brutal than them.

Is there any real difference between them and the US?

Maduro could stop the cocaine trade overnight if he wanted to.

Instead he has his own cartel.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

It is no more lawful than all the people the US has murdered in the boats they keep blowing up, and then going back for seconds to make sure everyone is dead.

If there is any justice left in the world there will be a lot of people facing war crime trials soon.

Maduro, right?

 

[Norm Paperman]

Maduro could stop the cocaine trade overnight if he wanted to.

Instead he has his own cartel.

The cocaine trade predates Maduro and has never been stopped by anyone despite the US spending trillions trying to do so.

The only reason there is a cocaine trade is because the US is filled with customers wanting it.

There is no trade without someone willing to buy it

 

[Norm Paperman]

Maduro, right?

Sure, he can join Trump and Hegseth and the US military members following illegal orders.

No I also read reports from private journalist, and from the Nobel prize winning opposition leader there

What I am hearing from you is that you are grossly uninformed of what is happening in Venezuela…which is not surprising

 

[Couchpotato]

I seem to recall Trump running on the promise of not doing this kind of thing.

Agree. What does that have to do with what I said?
